July 15th is the Ghost Festival, also known as the "Ghost Festival" among the people.

According to the Xuanqian ancestral system, on this day, eminent Buddhist monks are invited to the palace to chant sutras, burn incense and paper, and worship ancestors.

In fact, those who should be worshiped during the Ghost Ghost Festival are the hungry ghosts who came out of the underworld. People believe that this can resolve their grievances and prevent them from causing harm to the world. There are many ghosts in the harem, but it is not easy to invite them in a big way. Entering the palace to transcend the souls of the dead is just an excuse.

Masters chanting sutras were in the splendid hall of Xihua Gate, and the Bodhisattvas were in solemn glory. The emperor, the eleventh princess, and the queen supported the queen mother in her court robes, and led a group of concubines to bow respectfully and burn incense one by one. The sacrifices were carefully prepared by the queen mother. Everything was carefully selected, and many of the fruits had never been tasted by ordinary people. She stood in front of the late emperor's tablet and stared at it for a long time without moving.

Mo Xi was not favored by the emperor and was not qualified to pay homage to his ancestors. He just sat with Shangguan Wanwan in the courtyard of Chuxiu Palace and drank tea quietly.

At noon, drought thunder sounded in the sky, but in a blink of an eye, the lead clouds were dense, oppressing people and making it suffocating. Then came the big raindrops, which resounded throughout the world, soaking the summer. The fiery downpour came very quickly. It was like a storm.

Mo Xi looked at the rain and felt very bored. She asked Eryu to get an umbrella because she wanted to see Yu Changli.

Eryu only felt that Mo Xi was a really kind master. Yu Changzai had been neglected for a long time, and no one was willing to go around with her. Only the mistress would send her some eating utensils from time to time.

The Enlu Hall was deserted day by day. It was a sultry summer day, but the Enlu Hall was a bit chilly. Ru Yu's legs were lame and she had lost her favor. She was naturally unable to do such a grand thing as ancestor worship. participated.

She was seen sitting on the railing of the corridor with her hair uncombed and a haggard look on her face, looking at a few banana trees in trance. The rain hitting the banana leaves made a pleasant sound.

Mo Xi sat next to her, feeling a little sad to see her in such a state of desolation. Although Ruyu was a little more arrogant in the past, she was much better than Yue Bing, who was constantly spreading her own songs.

"You often come to my place, I'm afraid you got some bad luck from me, which makes your life so difficult." Ruyu said mockingly to himself, with a sad tone.

"Yuebi is a bit arrogant, but my life is not as bad as you said." Mo Xi also looked at the rain curtain, fearing that the rain would not stop for a while, "I couldn't help you find the person who harmed you. Murderer, I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for? It's my own fault and I can't live without it." Ruyu seemed to have changed into a different person. He no longer had the same vigor as before and became indifferent to everything. Mo Xi could only lament that the harem was such a cruel dyeing vat. , "If I weren't so sharp, the queen wouldn't hate me to the core."

"Are you so sure that the queen did it?" Mo Xi asked calmly.

"Who else could it be besides her?" Ruyu asked back.

"I may not be sure about others, but it will definitely not be the Queen. Breaking the leg of a regular person is not a big or small thing. If it is really pursued, she will not be able to escape responsibility. She so hopes to stay well in front of the Queen Mother. I would naturally not do such a thing." Mo Xi analyzed it slowly, but Ruyu couldn't understand it more and more.

"Who could that be?" Ruyu asked aloud.

"I don't know." Mo Xi remained calm, "But Ruyu, you... remember to stay away from trouble to protect yourself."

Ruyu had a puzzled look on her face, not understanding what Mo Xi was talking about. But Mo Xi couldn't speak too clearly. Since he had designed her to gain Baili Muyun's favor in the first place, he should have given her some advice when she was down.

.Whether she listens or not is her business.

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Aunt Hu coming in the rain, saying that Princess Eleven and Yi Guiren were looking for her. Mo Xi quickly asked Eryu to hold an umbrella, said goodbye to Ruyu, and the others returned to Chuxiu.

When they arrived at the palace, they saw that Shiyi and Yi Guiren had been waiting for a long time. They were still wearing court clothes and were walking back and forth anxiously.

"Sister Mo Xi, you are back." Mo Xi pulled her and said as soon as she came in.

"What happened?" Shouldn't they be at Xihua Gate at this time?

It turns out that there was a ghost when we worshiped our ancestors today. After the drought thunder exploded, the incense candles in the main hall were extinguished by the wind, and gusts of cold wind blew through the main hall. The monks who were sitting cross-legged and chanting sutras suddenly all gathered together

He went crazy and threw himself at the Queen Mother, shouting something like: "Give me back my life, you have done me so much!"

Although the Queen Mother was frightened, she was extremely calm and angrily shouted: "Who dares to blame the power of others!" She also cursed: "You are no match for the Ai family when you are alive, and you will not even think of using this little trick to harm me after you die!"

After the Queen Mother, who was guarded by the guards, drank angrily, the monks fell down softly, foaming at the mouth, and fell unconscious. Baili Muyun was already so frightened that he hid under the incense table and hugged them.

He squatted on the ground with his head down and shivered, refusing to come out no matter how Hua Jingyuan tried to persuade him.

The Queen Mother was also frightened, but when she saw the emperor's cowardly appearance, after all, this was the resting place of the late emperor, she was so angry that she fainted. Now there are a lot of imperial doctors and concubines in the Yongshou Palace.

House people.

"Then why are you here?" Mo Xi was puzzled. Logically speaking, if such a big thing happened, Shiyi and Yigui should stay in Changle Palace to serve the Queen Mother and wait for orders.

"The Queen Mother wants to see you." Eleven said, although everyone was confused as to why the Queen Mother wanted to see Mo Xi at this time.

Baili Muyun was worried about others, so he asked Eleven to find Mo Xi, but Eleven was too frightened to come out alone, so he had to ask Yigui to accompany him, and then waited for a while in Chuxiu Palace.

"Where's Chang Hai?" Why isn't Chang Hai staying by Eleven's side at this time?

"Don't mention that piece of wood. He has something to do in the army and hasn't entered the palace for several days." Shiyi was also angry that Chang Hai would disappear when he wanted him and would bother her every day when he didn't want him.

The back and forth had already delayed a lot of time, and the rain outside had become lighter. Mo Xi, Shi Yi and Yi Gui rushed to the Queen Mother's Palace. Along the way, Mo Xi was thinking about where Chang Hai had gone? What happened today?

Something strange happened. How could the palace be haunted for no reason? Chang Hai was not with Shiyi either. It seemed that Baili Muyun was about to take action.

Thinking of this, Mo Xi clenched his fists, wondering who would get the tax money.

There were many people standing in the Changle Palace. The imperial doctor had already checked her pulse and was writing prescriptions. Baili Muyun was sitting on the chair, still looking frightened. The queen's hand holding the tea cup was also trembling. In fact, the person was even more so.

His face was pale, and it seemed that this "ghost" had caused many people to feel uneasy.

Mo Xi and the other three came in the rain all the way, their skirts were a little wet, and their hair was sticky from the mist. Before she could salute everyone, they were stopped by the Queen: "Stop doing such nonsense.

, hurry in and see the Queen Mother."

Although she was also confused as to why the Queen Mother always looked at Mo Xi differently, the Queen Mother was her supporter. She was afraid that something might happen to the Queen Mother, and it was too late to investigate further at this time. As for the other nobles, they could not understand why the Queen Mother only issued an edict to an unknown person.

The beautiful girl who has won the favor of the Holy Spirit. The moment Mo Xi passed by Baili Muyun, Baili Muyun said in an almost inaudible voice:
Chapter completed!
